My usual question about does is N smaller files somehow better than 1 file applies. I guess put another way, why is the length of this file bad? If it logically all belongs it one place I don't feel like there is any reason to split it up. Especially since it will probably confuse people in the future and I've never seen site_scons used before so probably other people won't be expecting it either.
